You can use this API to:
  • Calculate the source amount to transact with based on destination amount you are required to send
  • Calculate the destination amount based on the source amount you want to transact with
  • Calculate the developer fees (your fees) based on the beneficiary id you intend to send to
With respect to the above capabilities, you can either pass source_amount or destination_amount and the API will calculate the other based on the exchange rate. If you want to make the calculation developer fee aware, you may pass in beneficiary_id instead of destination_currency (the beneficiary model already has destination currency information). The response will contain the developer fee if based on the values set when creating the beneficiary.
